Dearest Sandy and family. We are so sad to hear of Mike's illness and passing. He was extremely strong willed and did not want to leave all of you. Little by little the lakeport family is slowly leaving this earth for a better place up there in heaven. May their memory and Mike's memory be a blessing. We love you all, Lynn and Ceil

Dear Dawn and Family, My sincere sympathy to you on the terrible loss of your dear father, husband & loved one. I did not know him, but I knew he was beloved of Dawn . And I know through Dawn’s own character that it was a very special father who helped nurture such a remarkable daughter. You were indeed fortunate to have him in your lives for many years. May time soften the grief and memories provide future condolence. Love, Ralph
